I dunno how much more it's worth to anyone else, but I know it's worth it to me. And that's all that matters cuz I'm the one who paid for it and ride it! I love my 100th Screamin Eagle Deuce!

I think the anniversary thing is a little carried away, I mean 100 years sure that's cool but come on every 5 years is pretty lame, make it special do it every 10 years at most. As far as myself I bought a 2008 fatboy and didn't get the anv. model because I think the color choices were horrible.

I agree. I can see a 50th, 75th, and a 100th.
But every five years?

+1 I almost bought the Anniversary Edition of my Deluxe, but only because it was a repo with almost no milage and was selling for WAY under value. But the day I was to go look at it and pick it up, the seller called to tell me that he parked it outside that night and someone had stolen all the Anniversary stuff. We called to check on replacing it all and it was OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE! They must get an extra $1K just for those emblems!

+2, While I liked the colors for the 105, I think it's overkill to do anniversaries every 5 years.
Buddy of mine has a 100th anniversary Heritage. While trailering it to Sturgis 2 years ago the other bike in the trailer broke loose and gouged his gas tank. To get it repaired was like $1500 and he had to show proof that it was a 100th aniv. edition bike

Maybe in the future it may hold more value.
